Hi Ianna. I see in a few of the comments that some of these ladies work out and feel they need to wash their hair more often… you’ve mentioned, in other videos, that you work out. Can you share how often you work out, what types of workouts you do and what you do with your hair? Or if you already have a video like this please share that info. TY. You are so encouraging and relatable. Never get tired of listening to you. All the best.
Hey Ianna, thanks for the tips...my hair is shoulder length, I try to limit my wash days, but living in the Caribbean, Trinidad...it's really challenging, bcuz sometimes it's extremely hot and I sweat a lot on my hairline, I can do a 2 week stretch but not longer. My ends are mostly dry and a bit thin but I try to moisturize as much as I can. Thanks again for your advice. Blessings ❤
Hello! Please keep me posted on your progress and how you are finding Unlay. Reach out with any questions you may have! Happy to help if I can. Thanks so much for watching ❤️
@@belovedakua I actually really like it, it smells great and is very moisturizing. I both my second bottle even though I'm still on my first as you don't have to use much.
Thanks for keeping your video short and to the point. I will incorporate a few pointers. Also, your living room is gorgeous. It’s funny, tho, you have a couple top hair influencers, if you will, on yt, who have very long, relaxed hair, who wash weekly, and also cowash, and moisturize. I must admit, I do that, and my hair feels good and is healthy (voluntarily confirmed by my hairdresser), and is almost to my bra strap. So, I think it really comes down to knowing your hair, and learning what works and what doesn’t. If I see something isn’t doing it for me, then i would adjust accordingly. I also use premium products in my hair. Appreciate you sharing your tips.
Great video! I left my hair alone for 4 years due to pregnancy but I’m explore it more and I love the length. I just can’t get it straight on the ends. I’m gonna try a trim
Question, when I started my healthy hair journey in 2009, I remembered the topic lye relaxer vs no lye relaxer… which made me switch to Mizani lye relaxer. And professional hairstylists are always recommending lye relaxer and say no lye is harsh on the hair strands. Since you use the Optimum Anti Breakage no lye relaxer, do you have less dryness and less shedding? I would like to know especially about the shedding. Do you experience a lot of shedding with no lye? Thank you in advance
Try washing your hair in large loose-ish twists where you can still put your fingers through underneath the twist to get to your scalp. Condition and use your leave-in conditioner in that way as well and let it dry. That way your hair dries stretched yet still clean. (Gently detangle before putting into twists and washing)
Same here, plus I swim. Swim caps do not keep my hair from getting wet, so I'm having to wash or just rinse my short, relaxed hair about 3-4x per week. I never blow-dry, and usually just use a curl enhancer to get a curly look.
Thank you for your videos. I'm a brand new follower and I love my relaxes hair but have always struggled with length gain and retention. So I have debated much about going natural if nothing changes in the next few years. I say all that to say that you have given me hope. Ive already ordered my unlay and strategizing for when I take my braids out. Do you have a video on how and when you use the steamer and do you have any on routine after taking out braids? Thanks in advance!
I would love to extend my wash days to q2weeks, however, I exercise and with the sweating I don’t think it’s possible. Any thoughts or tips? Love the video btw ❤
Hey! I tried to extend my Wash days to every two weeks as well since I workout everyday and I also work outside. But my hair didn’t like that AT ALL!!! 😆 I guess you just have to do what’s best for your own hair at the end of the day. I have mid back length relaxed hair too, so I’m saying this from experience. I hope this helps! ❤❤
I’m really debating going back to the salon for my hair trims. I am getting that triangle for the length of my hair but I want more of a blunt across. I’ve been traumatized by stylist cutting too much so I’m not sure. Also my unlay has lasted almost a year. And she ships to Hawaii
I've watched your first video on how you got your hair to grow and lemme tell you it worked. However, I noticed that when I take down a low manipulation hairstyle that I'd have for like a month or maybe more I would still have split ends. Any advice?
Hello! I use Unlay daily. When my hair is freshly styled I will use every two days or so, and apply with my fingertips. NOT spray directly on my scalp (so I can control the amount of oil that is applied). Hope that helps. Reach out with any other questions. Happy holidays ❤️
I'm relaxed, menopausal and I sweat from my scalp. What can I do to keep my head/hair from smelling between washes if I extend to washing every 2 weeks?
I have really fine relaxed hair and I stretch my relaxers to 4months before a touch up. I am retaining length but my hair is fine. What do you recommend for hair thickening? Also, my hair is flatrioned after every touch up at the saloon, should I eliminate that process?
Hi Sher. I’m no expert, but I think you answered your own question. Hairdressers should know, with fine hair, you need low heat and one pass with the flat iron. I would say, if you can be happy with your hair without flat ironing, eliminate it. Praying you reach all your goals🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Great video! But I do have a question if anyone can answer. I am dealing with scalp issues. Oil really irritates my scalp and theres itching and flakes. I was diagnosed with seborrheic, dermatitis, but it could be eczema because the treatments that I was given irritated my scalp further. IDo anybody have any suggestions?
Did anything eventually help? I have Seborrheic Dermatitis too and I've used Royce Derm Advanced Seborrheic Dermatitis & Psoriasis Tream Cream and it helps
@@IannaYvonne Thank you for replying. Do you have a video of your wash day at 4-5 months post relaxer? Looking for tips on how you manage the 2 different hair textures at that stage.
Hello. I moisturize and seal once a week. I use the Shea moisture manuka honey and yogurt (primary on the length on my hair). I then go over that moisturized hair with the living proof repair and restore leave in to strengthen the hair. Both have protein but are very mild. Both state they can be used daily but I use once weekly. I will follow this up by sealing with Unlay hair oil. I have a week in my hair vlog on my channel if your interested. I detail my moisturize and sealing routine, as well as tips for when/ if you go to the salon. I recently started using the moroccan oil all in one leaving because my hair was becoming very dry… but only on wash days. When I wash I don’t not mositure and seal. I roller set my damp hair and add a small amount of leave in. Thank you for watching ❤️
Thanks for sharing. I have been watching you for some time now. Always great practical tips. I grew my hair to bra strap length, but made major problems along the way by extending my relaxers far too long (months), using too many different products including rice water and wore tight hairstyles daily. My hair came completely out and is now incredibly thin. I have very fine and curly hair. I recently saw a hair influencer who gave the best advice EVER....go back to basics and continue doing what made your hair grow in the first place. I have stopped with all of the different hair products and oils. I'm using one great shampoo, conditioner, black and grape seed oils, my heat cap when shampooing my hair every two weeks and a relaxer every 10 to 12 weeks. I recently allowed my stylist to give me a good trim and in 3 weeks, I'm seeing growth, but still thin and breakage in my crown (growing back slowly). I learned my hair is my stress point, so managing unpleasant events is crucial in order to maintain length. The death of my father and job problems were major contributors. Once my hair grows back this time, it will be forever. I'm done with the multiple hair products, it doesn't work for me. My hair thrives on less. Learned the hard way after a 8 year journey. Thanks for the tips. You're appreciated. Dr. Simpson ❤
@@IannaYvonne I am now don't understand it how do I get away from it I grew my hair out pass my shoulders 3 years ago now it's stuck B4 shoulder length any advice because I do the same thing as I did 3 yrs ago age could be a factor I'm older not old though lol

I agree.
You can do a protective style which can minimize manipulation while washing your hair

What if you go to the gym and your scalp is sweating? What do you do about washing them?
The only thing i need to work on is extending my wash days,i wash every week but want to change to every 3-4 weeks..So help me God
It's definitely hard. I was washing every week for years and couldn't figure out why my ends continued to thin out. I'm now up to every 3 weeks 😮💨
How long did it take you to get to waist length?
She said 2 years in another video..
Hi Ianna how often do you use the Unlay on your hair everday or every other day please?
